ACHF Cultural Heritage
We hope to produce a film festival including 25 to 30 debut films; host 3 to 4 filmmakers; and welcome 1300 audience members.We will evaluate the project based on debriefings with non-participating artists, the screening committee members, staff, participating artists, and randomly selected audience members. We will focus on the general feedback and satisfaction during audience discussion, and audience survey cards collected following each showing. We will measure the robustness of audience discussions by noting their length, the number of participants, the divergence of viewpoints expressed, and enthusiasm for the discussions.
The majority of survey respondents indicated that the films viewed were important to their communities and themselves. As predicted, the festival was also able to provide a platform to 34 Arab and Arab American filmmakers, not to mention the cast and crew involved with the films. The festival also attracted 1,100 audience members.
